Trivia:

Director Betty Thomas referred to all the actors by their characters' names, since, she claims, she couldn't remember their real names, and she wanted to think of them as their character. When she forgot their characters' names, she'd simply refer to them as "person".

Goofs:

Audio/visual unsynchronized: When the girls hit each other with the volleyballs, the impact sounds are that of rubber kickballs/dodgeballs, not of volleyballs.

Quotes:

Kate: [referring to his lab partner Alex] How exactly did he get burned?
Scott: There's indisputable evidence, that I might have caused the explosion... and actually, he will tell you that it's my fault... but clearly I said to him "Dear God, MAN, you are on fire... RUN for your life."

A Pretty Neat And Entertaining Teen Movie

I will say that this movie disappointed me.I was left wanting a lot more from John Tucker Must Die, but don't think that means that it wasn't a good movie itself.I enjoyed watching this movie from start to finish, and I must say I found a lot of the humor very fresh and unused.The rating on this movie is pretty unfair, because it wasn't THAT bad of a movie.It had it's moments where I felt as if they needed to add a lot more to the story, and it might have gotten just a bit uninteresting at a few parts, but every movie has it's problems and John Tucker Must Die is no different, and shouldn't be considered different.If you're into to teen-dramas you definitely need to watch this movie, but if you're not, don't even consider watching it.
